f
 Fifth Generation Education Society v. Commissioner of Income Tax. 185 ITR 634 (All.)
 Whether trust would be in position to claim exemption u/s 11/12 are the question
p p / / q
which is required to be examined at the time of assessemnt and not at the time of
grant of registration.
 DIT v. Garden City Education Trust [2010] 91 Taxman 238 (Kar.)
y [ ] ( )
 There is nothing in the language to suggest that an institution of a religious nature is
precluded from getting registration under section 12A. Whether the said society
would be entitled to the benefits under sections 11 and 12 or as the case may be
or, be,
under section 80G, would be pre-judging the issues before the grant of certificate.
In insisting upon the society in changing or amending its bye-laws and in refusing to
consider the application on the ground that those bye-laws had not been changed
bye laws
so as to exclude the religious aspect from those bye-laws, the Commissioner had
clearly over-stepped his limits.
 New Life in Christ Evangelistic Association (NLC) v. CIT [2000] 111 Taxman 16 (Mad.)
23/04/2011

14. Enquiry during registration
14
 Language i S 12A d
L in S. does not b
t bares, not even remotely, religious i tit ti
t t l li i institution
to get itself registered u/s 12A
 CIT v. Shri Digamber Jain Mandir 2008 Tax LR 400 (Raj)
 Jainism i religion at all, it was f d th t some authorities h
J i i is li i t ll found that th iti have
propounded that Jainism is not a religion but a way of life. Further If
Jainism was regarded as a religion, then the trust was not for a particular
religious community or caste.
 Shri Chanda Charitable Trust v ITO [1995] 80 Taxman 300 (AHD.)(MAG.)
 The Hindu society is neither a religious community nor a caste within the
meaning of section 13(1)(b)
 Bharatiya Utkarsha Mandal v. Inspecting Assistant Commissioner 12 Taxman 95
(NAG. - TRIB.)
 S. 12AA does not refers activities in India or outside India. Registration

 Society for the promotion of Education Adventure sport & Conservation of
Environment v CIT [2008] 171 Taxman 113 (All.)
 Wherever application is made the authorities must act within the time
made, time-
frame. Failure on the part of the authority concerned to pass order within
the statutorily laid down period of limitation will give rise to a presumption
that registration, as applied for by the assessee, has been granted. This is
the natural and legal consequence of an action on the part of the
department not to have acted within the prescribed time-frame. The latches
and the lapse on the part of the department could not be to its advantage.

23/04/2011

16. Effect of Registration
16
 Registration is precondition for exemption. Registration did not ipso facto
mean that the assessee would be entitled to exemption u/s 11. However the
assessee has a strong case for claiming exemption when registered. But,

the assessment for a particular assessment year.
 M. Visvesvaraya Industrial Research and Development Centre v. ITAT 251 ITR
852 (Bom.)

 Sonepat Hindu Educational and Charitable Society v. CIT [2005] 278 ITR 262
(P&H)
23/04/2011

17. Effect of Registration
17
 Once the organisation had been registered with the Commissioner u/s 12A
/
as charitable institution, the Assessing Officer could not treat the
organisation as non-charitable institution. The order of the AO refusing to
treat the assessee as charitable was beyond his jurisdiction and also against
section 118.
